“Boy oh boy, it was a tough night sleeping. Just still in shock and devastated. Wade is one of those guys that was just a terrific teammate and everybody loved him. Everybody understood he had a difficult role playing in the National Hockey League, but he did so much more than that. He was great with the kids off the ice and he was a fan favorite and a media favorite. He was a terrific human being. It’s very difficult. I only played one year with him – it’s funny that I played only one year with him but he’s one of the guys I’ve kept in touch with since I’ve retired. It’s a tough time.”
